    I use rust only if we need performance, for small services. The industry does the same. People use node for backend but e.g. redis is in rust. It’s a good tool if you use it for the right stuff.

    EDIT: redis is not in rust, but e.g. aws writes many services in rust




  • Thanks for the question. GraphQL works with multiple languages, Cuple works only with Typescript. Despite this drawback this also gives you some advantages:

    • The Request and Response types are auto-inferred from the endpoint you write
    • Because the types are in Typescript you don’t need to generate a client, you just simply use it with @cuple/client and get instant feedback.
    • You don’t have to learn another language. It’s just typescript.

    Practically it means less boilerplate and it let’s you focus on the feature you write. Cuple is also not a query language, you get what the server sends you, it’s more likely a type-safe FFI binding. With Cuple you can build a REST API, or anything similar to that with HTTP method, header, path, query, body, and you can use it type-safely.
